Holiday busyness can pressure us into overcommitting.

Here are 3 boundaries that can help reduce stress:

1️⃣ “I’m not available, but thank you for thinking of me.”
2️⃣ “I need to leave by ___ tonight.”
3️⃣ “I can help with this, but not with that.”

Boundaries aren’t walls — they’re acts of self-respect. 💛💛💛

🦃🍂 As we gather this Thanksgiving, we pause to reflect on the power of gratitude — a practice that can bring warmth, healing, and connection even in the hardest times.

For many, this season is full of joy, laughter, and togetherness. But we also want to hold space for those who may be feeling loss, loneliness, or grief — whether it’s the absence of loved ones, cherished pets, or meaningful relationships.

If this holiday feels difficult for you, know that your feelings are valid, and you are not alone.

Gratitude doesn’t mean ignoring pain — it means honoring both the joy and the sorrow, and finding small moments of peace and kindness wherever they may be.

This Thanksgiving, whether near or far, in presence or memory, may you find comfort in connection and hope in gratitude.

From all of us at OakHeart, wishing you a gentle and meaningful holiday.

Gratitude — A Simple Yet Powerful Practice

Gratitude is more than saying “thank you.” It’s a mindset, a way of seeing the world that can transform how we experience life — even in the hardest moments.

Today, try to find one small thing to appreciate — a kind word, a breath of fresh air, a cozy moment. It’s in these little sparks of gratitude that healing begins.

Let’s be real: the statistics speak volumes — and they’re why Movember matters.

📉 1 in 8 men will experience depression in their lifetime
📈 Su***de is the second leading cause of death for men aged 15–44 in many countries, including the U.S.
😔 Men are less likely to seek mental health support due to stigma and cultural expectations

These numbers are heartbreaking — but not unchangeable.

With more open conversations, better access to care, and support from organizations like OakHeart, we can shift these outcomes together.

If you or someone you know is struggling, know that help is here, and healing is possible.

Society often teaches men to “man up” or “keep it together” — but the truth is, mental health affects everyone, and asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Here are a few reminders for men (and those who support them):

🧠 Talk it out. Whether it's with a friend, family member, or therapist — opening up is powerful.
🏃‍♂️ Get moving. Regular physical activity is proven to support mood and reduce anxiety.
📱 Check in on your crew. A simple “How are you, really?” can make a big difference.
👨‍⚕️ Don't self-diagnose. If you're struggling, seek support from a licensed professional who can help guide the way.

Mental health isn’t a solo journey — and no one should suffer in silence.

Let’s change how we talk about men’s health. Let’s normalize help-seeking.

🧔‍♂️ You may have seen more mustaches around this month — and it’s not just a trend.

Movember is a global movement every November dedicated to raising awareness for men’s health — especially:

Mental health

Su***de prevention

Prostate cancer

Testicular cancer

Movember encourages people to grow mustaches, move for mental health, and open up honest conversations about health issues that are often stigmatized or overlooked.

At OakHeart, Center for Counseling, we’re proud to stand with Movember in breaking the silence around men’s mental health. Over the next few days, we’ll share tips, stats, and support to help men care for their health — inside and out.

👨‍⚕️ Because growing a mustache is just the beginning — changing the conversation is what really saves lives.

Kindness is a choice — a simple action or word that can break down walls, ease pain, and brighten even the darkest days.

So today, and every day, let’s choose kindness. It costs nothing but can mean everything.

💡 Small acts like a smile, a genuine compliment, or checking in on a friend can create moments of light in someone’s life.
